A study exploring the feasibility of a shared cycling and walking path around Lake Colac has been released for public comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The report examines the potential barriers and costs of a 2.5-metre-wide shared-use path around the lake, something community members have long called for.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Options under consideration include a full 30.5-kilometre loop around the lake and a western route linking Colac to Rossmoyne Park and Cororooke.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Several factors would come into play were a path to be constructed, including land access, ownership, erosion and embankments, cultural heritage and environmental protection.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The development of a path on the shores of Lake Colac would involve significant cost and need to occur in stages, relying on government funding.<\/p>\n

The report can be read in full and submissions can be made by 5pm, Friday 5 December, on the council’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Like our articles?<\/p>\n Become a Member and help fund our advocacy work.<\/p>\n
